Aura Party Proposes Senate Tax Renunciation Project
The Aura Party has submitted a project requesting the removal of a 25 lei tax on packages from China valued under 150 euros. This tax measure originally went into effect in January of this year. Meanwhile, European-level discussions are occurring regarding a potential 'valmal' tax intended to protect local merchants from competition with large Chinese platforms. Online retailers are reportedly involved in these discussions. In January 2026, the first month the tax was in effect, 1.95 million packages were taxed. The state collected nearly 10 million euros from companies outside the European Union during that period. Projections suggest the state could collect at least 120 million euros in 2026 from funds not yet collected. Consumers may see price increases as a result.
